When quotation marks are put around a word in this way, they are called scare quotes. The rules for using quotation marks around a single word for emphasis have changed since people began using word processors for their writing. If a word needs to be emphasized but is not being quoted, you should avoid putting the word in quotes and use italics instead. âTheyâre,â âtheir,â and âthereâ are easily confused because theyâre homophones.
For quotations within that quotation, use normal quotation marks, not single ones. o You might want to skip 1.5 times the line-spacing you are using in the document before you begin the quotation and after it. This is optional and depends on the style preferred by your instructor.
